This time of year I just seem to crave lemony flavors. I think lemon is a promise of spring with its bright, sunny flavor. Goodness knows we need that promise this year! These bright, lemony No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Parfaits will make you forget about a long, dreary, cold spring.

Finally, it’s here. The Cafe Lattes Tres Leches Cake. If you follow me (I’d love it if you would, sign-ups are to the right!) you might remember the blogging fail when I dropped the Cafe Lattes Tres Leches Cake in February. I called it The Cake of Broken Dreams.

Sometimes you just need a decent pumpkin pie, fast. Stat as my daughter says. I dunno, maybe someone else was doing the pies and it all fell through. Maybe you opened your mouth and volunteered without thinking. Maybe someone volunteered you? Maybe you don’t even know how it happened! Take a breath and remember these things happen to the best of us – and sometimes at the worst possible time! That’s when it’s time for the Easiest Pumpkin Pie.

I kind of fell in love with the idea of the Coquito – A Coconut Rum Cocktail, before I ever had my first sip of this cocktail concoction. Thinking back, I’m not even sure where I first heard about the creamy, frothy, coconut deliciousness laced with Rum and touched with cinnamon that is the Coquito. Def not when I was growing up in Iowa, lol! The Midwest weather, especially in Minnesota, where I live now isn’t traditionally considered to be too hospitable to people used to warmer climes – or even to us born here. The Coquito will make me forget all that, even though it’s January, now!

My daughter’s always had a great talent for cooking and years ago, when my son and I were in a pretty severe accident, my daughter (then about 15) made a good portion of the Thanksgiving dinner while I talked her through – from my bed. And we did have pie, but it wasn’t Pam Anderson’s Silky Pumpkin Pie.
